Five years. That’s how long it had been since Katie and I moved to Colorado, and shamefully, how long it had taken us to make the mere 2½-hour drive north to visit one of my favorite IMD professors, Corey Billington, in Laramie, Wyoming. I blame COVID, then having a second baby, but really there’s noContinue reading “Long-Overdue in Laramie: Reconnecting with Corey Billington”

Eurotrip with the Bambino
Last week we returned from a week-long trip to Switzerland and Italy – with baby in tow – and it was quite an adventure! We began our trip with two days in Lausanne. My IMD MBA Class of 2008 was celebrating our 10-year reunion, which means I’ve now been blogging for more than 10 yearsContinue reading “Eurotrip with the Bambino”
IMD Reunion in Dubai
Last weekend Katie and I joined my IMD classmates for a reunion in Dubai. It was our first time to the UAE and it left quite an impression!

Traveling in Switzerland
Quite often people ask me for advice when they are traveling to Switzerland. Given that I lived there for two years, it is embarrassing how little I know about the country but following are the travel suggestions I usually make. First, a few notes about Switzerland in general: It is just so incredibly full ofContinue reading “Traveling in Switzerland”
A Few Days en Suisse
After the grand weekend in Paris, I took a detour of just a few days in Lausanne, Switzerland, before returning to the States. The trip on the TGV was wonderful as always. There is just something so civilized about traveling by train: plenty of space, Wi-fi, more-than-decent meals, and the gorgeous French countryside streaming byContinue reading “A Few Days en Suisse”

And shortly after that I made my very first post on this blog! ThisContinue reading “IMD MBA 2008 Reunion in Lausanne, Switzerland”
IMD HPL
I’ve just returned from a transformational week back at IMD for their top-ranked High Performance Leadership program!

IMD Alumni Event in Boston
Last weekend was a wonderful trip to Boston, reconnecting with friends, classmates, colleagues, and professors! I flew up Thursday night and spent Friday in business meetings downtown + catching up with a dear friend / former colleague in Somerville. Lacking a car was no problem because Boston has a very robust public transportation system. SaturdayContinue reading “IMD Alumni Event in Boston”
IMD: a Global Brand – a Global Bond
With four years now to reflect on the IMD network, I recently had two travel experiences that really cemented its value for me: Buenos Aires and Switzerland. When Katie and I went to Buenos Aires in May we were really helped along by my two IMD classmates there. They and their families met up withContinue reading “IMD: a Global Brand – a Global Bond”
Traveling Recommendations for Geneva and Lausanne, Switzerland
Recently, I’ve had several requests from friends who have been traveling to Geneva on what to see/do. To avoid repeating myself, I’ve coalesced my responses into the following recommendations: Geneva Geneva frankly isn’t that much of a destination – it’s more of a place to live than it is to visit.
